Pottstown Area Rapid Transit

Pottstown Area Rapid Transit offers a safe reliable travel alternative to driving. Save yourself time and trouble and forget about looking for parking. With convenient service operating Monday through Saturday, let PART take you to your destination. For more information call (610) 326-5413.

Once you know your travel route, go to any designated PART bus stop along that route. Arrive at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to leave.

Each bus displays the name of the route above the windshield. Observe the destination sign carefully since more than one bus route may stop at a particular bus stop. Make sure you are boarding the correct bus.

After the bus has come to a complete stop and the door is open, grasp the handrail and carefully climb the stairs. If you have any questions about the route or destination, ask the driver.

Bus service in Pottstown and adjacent communities is a publicly owned and privately operated system. The Borough of Pottstown owns, funds and administers the system. The day-to-day operations are the responsibility of Pottstown Area Rapid Transit, Inc. (PART).
